Servo Control
For a delta wing or elevon wing setting, check the control throw
directions.
Begin by checking the aileron direction. With right aileron stick
movement, the right elevon should move up and the left elevon
should move down.
If the right elevon moves in the incorrect direction, reverse the
channel in the transmitter that the right elevon is plugged into.
If the left elevon moves in the incorrect direction, reverse that
channel in the transmitter.
